FERRULE.

SPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 412,033, (lated ctober 1, 1889. Application filed June 19, 1888i Serial No. 277,577. (No model.)

To all whmn it ma-y concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES MACPHAIL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of NVinnebago and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and usef ul Im provem ent in Fasteners for Ferrules, of which the following' is a specification.

This invention relates to a means of seenrin g ferrules to implements or handles of Wood, and has for its object to prodnoe a fastener for securing ferrules to the same 'without the use of Wedges, nails, or rivets.

Figures 1 and 2 are views of ferrules seonred, respectively, to a singletreeand a neckyoke by means of my improved tongue-fast ener. Fig. 3 is a view' of a socket seoured to a handle by the same means. Fig'. 4 is a view of a section, through the dotted line a: of Fig. l, of a ferrnle and singletree before the former is seeured to the latter. Fig. 5 is a view of the same with the ferrnle secured to the singlettee.

Like letters of reference indicate corresponding' parts throughout the several views.

A is a ferrule to be used for securing hooks to singletrees, rings to neck-yokes, or for any purpose Where it is desired to secure ferrules or ferrules and attachments to iniplements or handles of Wood.

A' is an opening, which may lee-situated at any point between the ends of the ferrnle A, and extends transversely therethrough.

A2 is a tongue-fastener forined integraily Wit-h the ferrnle A and projeeting into the opening' A' therein from the perimeter A3 thereof.

A* is a Vertical eye projeoting from the outside of the ferrule A and integral with the same.

A5 is a si ngletree-h ook inserted through and engaging with the eye A4 of the ferrule A.

B is an end portion of a singletree.

Fig. et shows the ferrule A after being driven upon the end of the singletree B. Fig. 5 is the same With the tongue-fastener A2 driven into the singlet-ree B to secure the ferrule to the latter.

O is the end portion of a 1ieek-yohe,p1'o-v vided with a ferrule C', which is identical With the ferrule A, and has a horizontal eye C2 projec-ting therefrom.

C3 is a ring` mounted in the eye C? D is a tool-socket secured by means of niy ilnproved tongue-fastener to the fragment of a handle D'.

The herein-de'scribed ferrule and tonguefastener ean be most advantageonsly manufactured by casting the same, though the fastener may be sueoessfully formed by cutting the same out of the body of the ferrule.

Ferrules and sockets provided with the herein-described tongue-fastener can be expeditiously, firinly, and permanently seeured in place thereby.

Obviously a ferrule or socket may be provided with any desired number of fasteners.

I ciaiin- 1. A ferrnle having an opening` at an y point between the ends thereof, extending transversely therethrough, and a tongne-fastener formed integrally therewith and projeoting; into said opening from the perimeter thereof, substantiaily as deseribed, and for the purpose speoified.

2. The ferrule A, having the tongue-fastener A2 formed integrally therewith, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
